5.9.18

Unfomfortable


Alma 39:59 And it came to pass that as he went forth among the people, yea, among a people who had separated themselves from the Nephites and called themselves Zoramites, being led by a man whose name was Zoram--and as he went forth amongst them, behold, he was run upon and trodden down, even until he was dead.

Korihor couldn't stay among the righteous Nephites...  He didn't feel comfortable with them any more; didn't want that light around him if he could help it.  Read in Alma 31 that, "... Zoramites were perverting the ways of the Lord, and that Zoram, who was their leader, was leading the hearts of the people to bow down to dumb idols..."
